Deagle question for owners (considering buying my first Deagle)

I want to pick up a new handgun to carry in my truck, looking for something with a high intimidation factor! I have been considering a deagle .50ae but have a few concerns. First I am worried the large caliber and strong kick will discourage me from wanting to shoot it often, and I would like to take it to the range pretty often. I considered the .357 but im afraid it wont be much better and then im the guy who didnt go for the big gun. Also im concerned at $2 every time I pull the trigger I will be discouraged from shooting it. Also for the price of the thing I could buy 2 very nice semi auto guns of a smaller caliber. Out weighing all that is the fact that its a bad a$$ weapon that is sure to put fear into anyone who has the misfortune to look down the barrel. Basically im wondering is it worth it? Any input from owners would be greatly appreciated. Please dont post if you dont own one.
